The Fuerza Fund will provide essential resources to help those affected by the devastating Los Angeles wildfires by providing immediate and direct emergency cash assistance to workers and unique households impacted by the wildfires, ensuring no one is left behind.
The Philanthropy California team is coordinating with our members, partners, and state agencies to track and respond to changes in our political landscape and their implications on the nonprofit sector and the communities we serve.
California communities and funders are not new to responding to catastrophic wildfires. Neither are communities and funders in many other regions of the United States.
The Philanthropy California team will be vetting response funds to help grantmakers direct resources to organizations providing urgent support and services to nonprofits and communities affected by the latest public policy developments.
Join Philanthropy California and Nonprofit Finance Fund for the launch of our Resourcing Resilience Report. As Californians grapple with the escalating impacts of climate change, it is clear that the path towards resilience lies in supporting the communities on the frontline. The Resourcing Resilience Report arrives at a pivotal moment as climate change continues to disproportionately affect vulnerable communities and communities of color—those who often bear the brunt of extreme weather events, extractive industry, and environmental degradation.
